Looking to get into Silverlight and doing SharePoint work? Get this FANTASTIC book!

I know many folks who are SharePoint developers who are still getting into Silverlight development. I fall into that camp. There’s plenty of information out there on how to do SharePoint development and how to build Silverlight controls. A smart cookie and figure out how to do data binding and pulling data from the SharePoint Web Services.

A few weeks ago I saw that my pal Steve Fox & Paul Stubbs released a book on the exact subject: Pro Microsoft SharePoint 2007 Development Using Microsoft Silverlight 2. The best part about it: it’s concise (312pgs) and covers almost all the hot button issues you’d come across such as:

Different ways to integrate with SharePoint
How to create and deploy the SharePoint Web Parts host container
Tips for adding the Silverlight video player application to the SharePoint site
Ways to develop your first custom field type
Suggestions for branding your SharePoint sites
Techniques for customizing Web Parts and creating editor parts
How to deal with hidden fields, cookies, XML data ISLAND, and more

I HIGHLY recommend this book… it’s a great resource!

I have that book coming in the mail (might actually be in KC while I'm in St. Louis). Sounds like it should be a good read.

Andrew, I was curious if you knew if the book describes whether or not there are methods to optimize Silverlight similarly to flash for SEO?
